Coming Home
"Thank you Billy." Kimberly said.
"For what Kim?" Billy asked.
"Staying with me." Kim answered.
"It's no problem, I know how much you hate hospital's Kim." Billy smiled.
"I didn't think anyone would care enough to come." Kim said.
"Jason and I care about you, but why so you say that?" Billy asked.
"Because I haven't heard from them in months." Kim told him.
Billy looked like he was upset about something.
"What is it, Billy?" Kimberly asked.
"They are just following Tommy's orders, I'm sorry Kim." Billy said frowning.
"I see, I guess that letter wasn't the greatest idea." Kim replied.
"Can I ask why you broke up with him?" Billy asked.
Just then Kimberly's doctor came in to see how she was doing. He was happy to see that Kim was awake. The doctor quickly went to check on her injuries. He raised her gown to look at her stomach. What Billy saw there enraged him, criss crossed cuts covered her stomach. Kim gave the doctor a look like "I told you those will never heal." She also grasped Billy's hand even tighter than before in hopes to keep him grounded. After the doctor left Kim could see major questions in his eyes. But before she could answer any questions Jason and her mom came into the room. So Kimberly gave Billy a look like "I will answer everything later."
They spent the day with Jason and Kimberly's mom. Both Billy and Jason could see that Kim wasn't happy in Florida. They quickly found out within a week of moving, she had to give up her dream.
After Mrs. Hart left for the night it was time for Kimberly to fill her best friends in on her past that they didn't know about.
"I have to tell you something, but I know that you both will want to kill Tommy." Kim said.
"Alright sis." Jason agreed.
"Billy, will you show Jason my stomach please?" Kim asked.
"If that is what you want." Billy said and at her nod he moved her gown.
"WHAT! Happened?" Jason asked trying to stay as calm as he could.
"Sparing with Tommy after we saved from Rita's spell." Kim told them.
"What else Kim?" Billy asked seeing in her face that she's hiding something else.
"Tommy and I could have been very happy if he would have stayed my white knight, and if I didn't miscarried our child." Kim sad sadly.
"Did he know about the baby?" Jason asked.
"No, he didn't." Kim said.
"Then how did he do that to your stomach?" Jason asked.
"The green ranger daggers were his favorite toy back then. I think there is too much green in the red ranger." Kim told them.
"So is that why you broke up with him." Billy asked.
"Yes, he just isn't the same Tommy that I loved." Kim answered.
"So now what?" Jason asked.
"Now I get well." Kim said smiling.
"And we will be right here helping you all the way." Billy said.
"I know, and after that we have work to do." Kim said.
"Oh?" Jason asked.
"I just have a bad feeling that something is getting ready to turn bad." Kim tells them.
"Yeah." Kim agreed.
By the time Mrs. Hart came in the morning Kim was pretty much healed.
"You need to go back to Angel Grove my dear." Mrs. Hart told Kim.
"But where would I stay, mom?" Kim asked.
"Let me call my dad and see if you can move in with us." Billy offered.
"Thank you Billy." Kim smiled.
"You're welcome Kim." Billy said.
Billy quickly called his dad at work to ask him if Kim could move in with them for a while till she got on her feet. His dad agreed with his son that she could, knowing how much Kim meant to his son. Billy got off the phone and smiled at Kim. And that is all she had to see to know she was welcome at Billy's house. The doctor came into tell her that she had to stay one more night in the hospital.
Later that night they got a hold of Zordon and the power rangers to let them that Kim is doing well and is coming home.
"How are you doing, Kim?" Rocky asked.
"Better, in fact I'm moving back home." Kim told them smiling.
"Wow, cool." Rocky said.
"You can't!" Tommy exclaimed. Billy slipped his hand into Kim's without anyone noticing.
"And why can't I Tommy, it's not that I want to win you back. I just miss home." Kim said getting pissed.
"It's not that you have a boyfriend Kimberly." Tommy said.
"And what if I did, it's none of your damn business Tommy." Kim asked.
"Prove it!" Tommy exclaimed.
Billy quickly squeezed Kimberly's hand trying to give her a signal.
"Are you sure you want me to prove it Tommy?" Kim asked looked at Billy though the corner of her eye. And he moved closer to Kim slowly out of sight of Tommy.
"Yes." Tommy said not really believing that she could prove it.
"If that's what you want." Kim said turning towards Billy.
"Kiss me." Kim mouthed once facing Billy.
The moment their lips touched they each felt like time stood still. Not to mention Shaylin's words flowed right into Kimberly's mind. She couldn't help but wonder if Billy was that man that Shaylin meant. The power rangers couldn't believe what they were seeing.
All Jason could do was smirk at seeing his friends kissing.
"Is that enough proof Tommy?" Jason asked.
Tommy was enraged by seeing Kim kissing Billy and enjoying it by the look of it. But no one saw Tommy's eyes flash green. Zordon decided that it was best to end the talk since Kim and Billy had not yet parted.
"Wow!" Kim whispered breaking away from Billy.
"Yeah." Billy agreed resting his forehead on Kim's since they were trying to catching their breath.
Shaylin began to talk to Kim and told things have begun to change and that there was work to do.
"Billy, do you have your power coin with you?" Kim asked.
"Of course." Billy said.
"Can I borrow your coin for a minute please?" Kim asked.
"Sure." Billy said handing her his power coin.
Kim took Billy's coin into her hands and pulled on her own power to do what her instincts are telling her.
I the purple phoenix call on the power of the wolf
To return the power to the blue ranger
With an old evil returning
Comes new power of the
Phoenix, Pegasus, Tiger, Cheetah and Jaguar.
As Kimberly handed back Billy his coin she couldn't remember the words that flowed into her brain when she held the coin but she feel the power around it and knew that Billy now held the same power that she did. When Billy took his coin back from Kim he felt the ranger power flow back into him. But it was more powerful than before. He felt like he was home.
"Billy, you are needed once again, will you stand by me again?" Kim asked.
"Yes, Kim I will." Billy agreed.
"Jase, may I?" Kim asked holding out her hand for his coin.
Jason nods and gives her his coin. And once again Kim called on her power to help a friend.
I the purple phoenix call on the power of the dragon
To return the power to the red ranger
With an old evil returning
Comes new power of the
Phoenix, Pegasus, Tiger, Cheetah and Jaguar.
For the rest of the night the new rangers enjoyed the feel of their powers and just spending time together bonding. They were coming home for sure now.
